Time stands still for nobody, including Henry Repeating Arms.  They’ve built their name and reputation on America’s favourite line of lever actions, and that’s what most of the firearms world thinks of when Henry's name comes up. But they've felt for quite a while now, that there’s more we could be doing in the long gun market, and as you may have noticed with the introduction of the Long Ranger model for dedicated lever action hunters, we’re doing it!

The centerfire single-shot rifle has an extensive history among hunters looking for a dependable and accurate game-getter, without having to spend more than necessary for good quality and basic function, and now they have a line of break-action one-shooters to carry on that history.

These elegantly simple rifles feature 22” round barrels, fully adjustable folding leaf rear sight and brass bead front sights Henry uses on the lever actions, a drilled and tapped provision for optional scope use, walnut front and rear furniture, a curved pistol grip wrist and solid rubber recoil pad on this steel version. 

These rifles use a familiar locking lever on top of the frame, behind the external hammer spur, to break the barrel open. Henry has added their own touch here though- the lever can be pivoted either left or right from its centre position to unlock, which works well for both lefties and righties. The action has no external manual safety; it uses a rebounding hammer that can’t touch the firing pin unless the trigger’s deliberately pulled, and an interlock system that doesn’t allow the barrel to open if the hammer’s cocked, or the barrel to close if the hammer’s cocked while it’s open. Quick to load or unload, safe to carry, and simple to operate.

These single-shot rifles are aimed at the challenge of hunting with only one round on board, and hunters who prefer the uncomplicated durability of the design. Make no mistake though- while some might consider a single-shot an entry-level proposition, Henry builds these to the same high standards as all of their fine centerfire rifles, and not to be a budget model in any sense of the word.
